Those of you who know my opinions about textual criticism (or maybe just my dad), know that I am unabashedly Byzantine-priorist. And although I don’t condemn those who happen to disagree with me, I hate to see facts twisted. One of the most unfortunate examples of this is the way in which our position is repeatedly characterized as being similar to KJV-Onlyism. If you’re interested in seeing how that happens, click here and read the comments. Note that the “Jim” who is saying these ignorant things is none other than Jim West, a leading biblioblogger, pastor, and adjunct professor. People who sit in positions of teaching authority really ought to do some basic fact-checking before throwing around such accusations.
UPDATE: Jim West is no longer with us on the blogosphere. He was the #1 Biblioblogger, so I guess the number one might now fall to Mark Goodacre? Who knows.
UPDATE: Jim West, of course, is back. I should a known that would happen.
another sad example of misinformation
